LED Light Therapy for Skin Health, Healing and Rejuvenation
LED Light Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses clinically proven wavelengths of light to support the skin’s natural repair processes. Suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, LED therapy can help calm inflammation, reduce breakouts, improve skin clarity and support collagen production for healthier-looking skin.
At LHP Aesthetics & Skincare, we use the Dermalux Flex MD, an advanced medical-grade LED device that combines clinically proven wavelengths to target specific skin concerns and support long-term skin health. The device is FDA-cleared and medically certified for a range of indications including acne, ageing and inflammatory skin conditions.
Based in Yelverton, near Plymouth, and carried out by Lisa, our Level 3 Skin Therapist we often incorporate LED Light Therapy into treatment plans to enhance results, accelerate recovery and support overall skin rejuvenation.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) Therapy delivers precise wavelengths of light energy into the skin without causing damage or downtime. Different wavelengths penetrate to different depths within the skin, where they stimulate natural cellular activity and support healthy skin function.
Unlike treatments that rely on heat or exfoliation, LED Light Therapy works by helping skin cells function more efficiently, encouraging repair, regeneration and renewal.
Treatment is comfortable, relaxing and suitable for most skin types.
How Does Dermalux Flex MD Work?
The Dermalux Flex MD uses clinically proven wavelengths of light to target a variety of skin concerns. The system incorporates:
- Blue Light (415nm) to help manage acne-prone skin
- Red Light (633nm) to support collagen production and skin rejuvenation
- Near Infrared Light (830nm) to promote healing and reduce inflammation
These clinically proven wavelengths are delivered through Dermalux’s professional LED technology, allowing treatments to be tailored to individual skin concerns.
Who Can Benefit from LED Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy is highly versatile and may be suitable for patients experiencing:
Acne and Breakouts
Blue light helps target acne-causing bacteria and may assist in reducing active breakouts whilst supporting clearer skin. The Dermalux Flex MD is FDA-cleared for acne indications.
Redness and Inflammation
LED therapy can help calm irritated skin and may form part of a treatment programme for inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea. Dermalux specifically highlights support for inflammatory skin concerns.
Ageing Skin
Red and near infrared wavelengths can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality and support a smoother, more radiant complexion. Dermalux identifies ageing skin as a key treatment indication.
